Make me an offer...if you live in So-Cal, I will be having a private sale at my home this Saturday...I will post pictures later today...Please come visit me and enjoy some sweets and freebies. After I post the pictures I will be taking e-mails for anyone interested in some great deals......Mostly my Vintage furniture which I can deliver as well... XoXo Mary

Deep breath...I just finished the last load of merchandise from my two locations to my house !

yAH! wOO-hOO!!! I can't wait to start building my web store with the talented Miss Hope Wallace of Paper Relics...She is coming to sunny So-Cal and staying with me...JOY!!! I have soooo much stuff, goodies, and new merchandise including monthly kits designed by ME!!!

Oh ...and by the way ...lots of give-a-aways this month so keep reading...I do not want to take pictures of all the merchandise for the web store...Soooo keep reading daily to see what you could possibly score on....Here is a few pics of my house... I need to get to work it is UNLIVABLE...The dogs are just a wreck..I think they may need some doggy prozac until it's all put away...XoXo Mary

As if I don't have a care in the world..I have been working non-stop on one of my best gal pal's new retail store In Brentwood. Believe me, it will be one of the hottest in the design industry.

The Giannettis' make a great team and are fabulously talented. Steve is a world reknowned architect and Brooke is his perfect compliment as a designer and style-maker. I will update you on the Grand Opening...You will ooh and ahh endlessly over the magnificent collections...

All of my love and gratitude is sent to the hundreds of e-mails I received about how Sweetpeas touched your lives...I am completely overwhelmed with love for all of you. I feel as though each and every one of you inspired me to keep going...everyday...the art gifts,the phone calls even one of my favorite people, Mary, would bring me bouquets of Sweetpeas when they were in bloom ...I am the one who truly learned from you and every friend that walked into Sweetpeas. My brick and mortar store blessed me with most of the dearest people I have in my life today...I can't wait to see what my online store holds for me.Which by the way I am already receiving CHA deliveries..(I got a little juice...)

I am off to Palm Desert with the kids for one night..I will post again on Monday with my house pictures and the empty store pictures...a little closure is healthy for everyone...Lots of love XoXO Mary

And now my memory card is full! I took pictures of the new Sweetpeas in my house put did not realize my card was full...I will post them on Monday! I still am having trouble finding my children....OH...just wait...IT IS THAT BAD!
